Swing for the fences

Originally a baseball term meaning to try hitting a home run. Now used extensively by for example the commentators in the UFC and other combat sports, referring to fighters striking for each other with reckless abandon, trying to get in a finishing blow.

Also sometimes used in completely unrelated attempts at doing difficult or near-impossible things.

"And Ruth was able to hit more homers than some entire teams because he played the game differently – he swung for the fences at every bat." - DodgerDog

"...Cause they're both a little fired up, and both wanna swing for the fences and make the other one look really, really bad" - Joe Rogan, Commentator, UFC

Fegelein

The ultimate prankster in the Hitler rants parodies on YouTube. From pooping on the toilet so no one can use it to abandoning his post on the battlefield, he never fails to have Hitler ramming his fist on the desk in rage.

Gunsche: The toilet is clogged.

Hitler: Damn that Fegelein keeps getting the damn toilet clogged up. Unclog it you fool. I don't maintain the toilet. You do. Get the damn plunger and unclog the toilet it's not that hard you've done it before. It's easy. Unclog the toilet and send Fegelein to me! Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein!

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

Refers to the way we tend to look at other people’s lives and other things that we don't have in general through rose colored glasses.

Comes from the idea of looking at a neighbours lawn and seeing it as better looking, healthier and overall greener then your own when in reality you’re just ignoring anything negative about it and downplaying everything positive about your own.

Friend#1: You’re so lucky, you went to a great college, have money and you’re so smart and will probably accomplish more by the time you’re 30 then I will in my entire life.

Friend#2: Are you serious? I’ve always envied you. People expect so much out of me. I’ve never been able to have a life because of studying and other schoolwork. If I get less then an A, people freak out like I got an F. I may accomplish that much, but with all the pressure on me I’ll probably be insane by the time I’m 35. In so many ways, I wish I could just be a regular guy with normal expectations and a normal life.

Friend#1: Wow, I honestly never looked at it that way. I guess it's true that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Fanged Four

Four vampires from the TV series 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', who lived and hunted together in the late 1800s. Individually, they were: Darla, Angelus, Drusilla and William (later known as 'Spike').

After Angelus was cursed with a soul, they disbanded and went their separate ways; though they all ended up in Sunnydale, CA at some point between 1997-2003.

'So Spike, Angel, Dru and Darla...are together again?'

'Looks like. Fanged Four want another go at the glory days.'
